cpp-alert-check

About

Icinga check to read alerts from a crashplan pro server. it uses the CrashPlan API to fetch alerts and uses the most recent one for status (WARNING or CRITICAL) and message. Alerts can be acknowledged in the CrashPlan administrator panel. If only acknowledged alerts are present, the check will succeed with status OK. If the check can't read the data from the CrashPlan API, it will exit with status UNKNOWN and print the message of the python exception.

Installation

Requirements

  • python 2.7
  • virtualenv has to be installed to generate the pex file or for manual setup. It usually is available for installation using packages of the distribution.

Setup

pex

To create a pex file, just run make pex/cpp_alert_check.pex. It will

  • create a virtualenv and install pex into it
  • use the installed pex to create a pex, which is dropped to ./pex/cpp_alert_check.pex

Manual setup

Put the contents of this directory somewhere, then run:

virtualenv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

This will install the python dependencies into the virtual environment.

Calling the check

To run the check, either use cpp_alert_check.pex which should work out of the box when executed. if running with manual installation, this line should work:

. venv/bin/activate && python -m cpp_alert_check.cpp_alert_check
